3D audio

SteelSeries Arctis 7P for PlayStation 5

It doesn't get much better than this. SteelSeries made a near-perfect PS5 headset with the Arctis 7P, combining legendary comfort with sublime 3D audio capabilities and long 24-hour battery life. It may be sold out at most retailers, but it's well worth the asking price should you find it in stock. There simply isn't a better headset for Sony's newest console, and once you pick this one up, you probably won't want to use another. Good luck finding it in stock though.

Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Gen 2 Premium Wireless Gaming Headset

Turtle Beach outdid itself with the Stealth 700 Gen 2, making a wonderful wireless headset for PS5. Though it has a shorter range than some (30 feet), it delivers a good 20 hours of battery life in a comfortable package. Designed with cooling gel-infused earcups and supporting 3D audio and Bluetooth capabilities, this option should be on anyone's list.

Find the headset that's best for you

Finding the best PS5 headset can be a little difficult. When shopping for one, you'll want to find the best possible sound quality without sacrificing microphone quality and how comfortable it is. After all, you'll likely be wearing it for long periods of time, so you don't want to get something that will leave you uncomfortable after just an hour or so.

If you're looking for something that will definitively work on the PS5 and is built with its specifications in mind, then the new SteelSeries Arctis 7P is for you. With 3D audio support and a wonderfully comfortable fit, this USB-C headset is a great addition to your collection and definitely worth buying.

Spend a bit more and you can pick up the Razer BlackShark V2 Pro, another top-tier headset from a brand name company you know you can trust. The BlackShark V2 Pro also offers 24-hours of battery life and supports 7.1 surround sound on PC, which is a nice bonus.

If you're looking for a comfortable PS4 headset that works extremely well on the PS5, you'll want to go for the Corsair Virtuoso RGB Wireless headset. It's extremely comfortable with fantastic audio and a sleek design, though the battery life isn't great.

Now if you want the best battery life possible, you'll want either the HyperX Cloud II or GSP 370. While the HyperX Cloud II only has 1/3 of the battery life of the GSP 370 — and still at a whopping 30 hours — I'd say the former is more comfortable than the latter.

Should I get a wired headset?

While a lot of people tend to prefer wireless headsets because of their freedom, a wired headset can still offer spectacular audio. Wired headsets are usually cheaper comparably, so this is the option you'd want if you're looking for a new headset on a budget. With a wired headset, you also won't need to worry about battery life as it will always be plugged in and ready to go when you are.

Another important factor to note is that not all wireless headsets will be compatible with PS5. Some connect through Bluetooth, and without an adapter, they won't work on PS5. Generally, if a headset is wired and connects with a 3.5mm cable, it's compatible with PS5 and a slew of other devices like Xbox, PC, Nintendo Switch, and Mobile.
